actually it's a reference to The Temptations' song "Papa Was a Rolling Stone", which is a reference to the saying "a rolling stone gathers no moss", but hey this works too...
Actually, they were at one of their early gigs and didn't have a name. Jagger saw a Bob Dylan record(Like a Rolling Stone) on the floor, and gave their name as The Rolling Stones. Papa Was a Rolling Stone is (I believe, not completely sure) a reference to The Rolling Stones.
